"kay, folks. Here's the deal.

By now, you've heard that Scott Jarkoff, aka °jark, is now a FORMER Staff Member.

I'm not privy to the whys, wherefores, and whatever-the-hells are going on behind the scenes here. Don't ask me anything about that. I know probably just as much as you do.

DeviantArt, in my opinion, is becoming less about COMMUNITY and more about CORPORATION.

So what we need to do is bring back THE COMMUNITY.

Here's my suggestion.

On August 7th, DA turns five years old. Five years for a website like this should be a grand affair, one big event.

So don't submit anything on August 7th.

I'm talking a print, a deviation, a scrap...nothing.

Instead, just leave a comment. Visit a user's page and just say hi.

If someone wants to buy a subscription that day, I'm all in favor or it. It'll keep the servers going, and anything that keeps the hamster running is a good thing.

BUT...I think folks shouldn't buy any prints. No print subscriptions. That goes against the COMMUNITY theme for the day.

We want to put the COMMUNITY back into DA.

If you're in favor of this, if you believe in the power this COMMUNITY has, then join me. Post this in your own journal. Spread the word to everyone, with a and a .

We might be touting at windmills like Don Quixote.

But if enough of us do it, we might be able to remind everyone that this is a COMMUNITY first and foremost.

Join me. On August 7th, let's take back DeviantArt."

my feelings are those stated above by blade2k2...

cheers.

what a mess.

I really don't have anything to say, I'm at a loss for words I guess, but I've said what I could in my "jark lives" piece....

<< over there...

It's awesome to see this community come together like this.

8.7.05 is gonna rock.

show your support.

It feels good to submit work again, and to browse and appreciate other artwork & photography.

I dont think I stopped looking I think I just ignored it for quite some time now.

I'm at a point where a lot of things have ceased to matter in my life and I've surrounded myself with only as few things, but things that drive me.

all is well. quiet. tranquil. peaceful, and dead. in a good way.
